Right now I can buy a used Kinect for about $35.00 and write code using OpenNI that gives me access to the 3D depth map from the Kinect. If I can't do this anymore, what is my recourse? Will libfreenect remain open?

libfreenect will remain open.

PCL and OpenCV will similarly remain open.

The loss of Primesense is the loss of NITE. The only recourse is a team building an open source skeletonization alternative.
